Chapter 143
Jiang Rao ignored Xiao Peiyin's contemplation and took out a power of attorney from his desk and handed it to her: "Sign this, I will entrust Jiang Zongyuan to file a lawsuit in court. I have a dinner appointment with him tonight, and I will discuss the details of this case with him."
"Thanks"
After signing the power of attorney, Jiang Rao checked it and found no problem, and immediately sent the electronic version to Jiang Zongyuan.
"Don't worry, he's a top student at Jianghuai University of Political Science and Law, and a senior from the same school as me. I'll leave it to him to handle."
After passing the information one by one, Jiang Rao folded his arms over his chest, leaned against the table and looked at her meaningfully. Xiao Peiyin did not avoid Jiang Rao's gaze.
The two looked at each other for a long time
Jiang Rao spoke first: "I guess you are wondering if I am helping you because of Gu Cunxi?"
Xiao Peiyin didn't deny it. She had thought about it. Jiang Rao saw through her thoughts and laughed, saying, "If I really did it for Gu Cunxi, would you mind?"
"If I minded, I wouldn't have come to you."
"Really?" Jiang Rao raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and smiled evilly, then asked: "Then... if I kissed her, would you not mind?" Facing Xiao Peiyin, she still had a sense of victory and could not help but want to piss her off once.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Peiyin's expression froze noticeably, and she frowned slightly. Seeing Jiang Rao's smirk, Xiao Peiyin suppressed her discomfort and said, "I don't deny it, I do mind, but..."
She paused deliberately, and Jiang Rao asked, "But what?"
"However, Lawyer Jiang knew that she had a girlfriend, but he still did such an irrational thing. Doesn't it just prove that Gu Cunxi is very charming and makes you lose control of yourself?"
“…”
Jiang Rao was speechless. This was the first time she realized that this woman also had sharp words. She clearly wanted to anger her, but ended up being scolded instead...
Seeing Jiang Rao speechless, Xiao Peiyin couldn't help but laugh softly.
This smile made Jiang Rao even more depressed, and he said angrily: "I am helping you now..."
"You provoked me first."
Xiao Peiyin was neither angry nor anxious, and refuted softly
Jiang Rao was defeated
Xiao Peiyin put away his smile, stood up, looked at her seriously and said: "No matter what your reason is, you helped me. Thank you very much."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave. As soon as she opened the door, she was stopped. Xiao Peiyin did not turn around, and her hand holding the door gradually loosened. She knew that Jiang Rao had something to say, so she waited quietly for her to speak.
"I gave up on her"
Jiang Rao looked at Xiao Peiyin's back, speaking word by word. Seeing that she didn't react or leave, he muttered to himself, "Thinking carefully, she's actually not suitable for me. We both like to be competitive and can be cruel to ourselves to achieve our goals. Two people like this are destined not to be together."
"Compared to her, your gentleness is indeed more suitable for her and more attractive to her. You win."
Xiao Peiyin turned around, her eyes soft: "I don't want to judge feelings by winning or losing. You didn't lose, and I didn't win either. It's just that I love her so I don't want to give her up."
Jiang Rao curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "Even if you want to give her up, you can't. Who else can take her in except you? I've spent four years in vain..."
Xiao Peiyin just smiled and said nothing. Suddenly, she thought of Cheng Sheng and hinted to Jiang Rao, "According to what you said, perhaps a well-behaved and gentle girl would be more suitable for you!"
She deliberately used girl instead of woman
Jiang Rao felt that these words were meant to be meaningful. What was even worse was that the first thing that came to her mind was Cheng Sheng's appearance.
That girl, six years younger than her...
…
After leaving Jiang Rao, Xiao Peiyin drove directly to the Nanyang Police Station, where Chen Feng was temporarily detained.
The person she least wants to see in her life
Arriving at the Nan□□ Police Station, it was visiting time. Xiao Peiyin waited in the visiting room for a while. The door was pushed open and Chen Feng was brought in by two policemen. The moment he saw her, Chen Feng was stunned on the spot. Urged by the police, he walked over.
In just a few days, Chen Feng had lost his former vigor and spirit. His hair was disheveled and greasy, the collar of his shirt was stained yellow by sweat, and his whole face was as if covered in dust, with a bluish-gray color.
Looking at this face, Xiao Peiyin remembered his smug and arrogant expression in the video. Suppressing her hatred, she was about to speak when she heard Chen Feng grit her teeth and ask, "Is he dead?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, she's fine!" The voice was as cold as a knife. Chen Feng's shoulders slumped when he heard it, and he muttered to himself in hatred: "She deserves to be killed with a single blow!"
“You don’t stand a chance.”
Chen Feng stared with red eyes, fixed, and sneered: "That's not necessarily true. When I get out, the first thing I will do..."
"You'll never be able to leave!" Xiao Peiyin interrupted, not giving him a chance to speak. She only had five minutes and no time to waste. She said to herself, "You'll spend the rest of your life in prison with those handcuffs. You'll never have freedom, and the outside world will never be yours. I want you to stay here forever and die here!"
"Xiao Peiyin!" Chen Feng slammed the table angrily, and the handcuffs clanged.
Xiao Peiyin growled angrily, "Me!"
"I will wait for your verdict! Wait until you go to jail, wait until you are completely unable to turn over a new leaf, wait until you rot here, wait until your parents are old and have no one to show their filial piety to them, wait until you slowly repent, but you will never have the chance to start over."
"You will slowly discover that the most terrifying thing is not death, but being unable to die and yet living like a completely inhuman person!"
"You, you..." Chen Feng excitedly wanted to stand up, but was instantly stopped by the police: "Behave yourself!"
"My whole life has been fucking ruined by Gu Cunxi. I won't accept that she's not dead. Why should she be able to live?"
"Shut up!" The police officer pressed him down on the table. Chen Feng struggled and raised his head, shouting at her, "Even if I die, I will drag her to hell as a ghost!"
"Then you have to die first"
Looking at Chen Feng's crazy behavior, Xiao Peiyin was calm as a mirror and was not moved at all. She just felt that it was not enough. If possible, she wanted Chen Feng to personally experience the pain of a broken hand, and to pay back tenfold or even a hundredfold what he had done to Gu Cunxi!
Five minutes passed quickly, and Chen Feng became more and more excited. Seeing Xiao Peiyin was about to leave, he struggled to rush over, but his body was firmly held down. Xiao Peiyin listened to the roar behind him, stopped, did not look back, and finally said
"I wish you a long life in prison!!"
The door was shut heavily, and the crazy roar was no longer deafening as she walked away.
After leaving the police station, Xiao Peiyin fell down on the stone steps in front of the door, feeling dizzy and crying.
Chen Feng was not the only one who was unwilling to accept this. She was unwilling to accept this, even if she had to let him rot in jail forever. Chen Feng had never experienced the pain that Gu Cunxi had experienced, but she could do nothing. She could not repay him in full, and she could not go beyond the law, because Gu Cunxi was waiting behind her, and she had to go back.
After so many years, she is the weak spot and the armor.
Xiao Peiyin had been gone for the entire morning. When Gu Cunxi woke up at noon and couldn't see her, he panicked. Cheng Sheng stayed by her side, constantly comforting her and lying, saying, "Sister Peiyin went home to get a change of clothes. You have to stay in the hospital for at least another half a month. If she doesn't change her clothes, they'll get smelly! I'm afraid you'll dislike it."
Gu Cunxi calmed down after hearing this. After leaning against the bed and washing up briefly, he retorted, "How could I possibly dislike her? I won't dislike her no matter what she does!"
“…”
Cheng Sheng rolled his eyes, increasingly unable to bear the tone Gu Cunxi used when he mentioned Xiao Peiyin. It made him feel both sad and numb, so he jokingly said, "Shouldn't you get a brain CT scan?"
"Why are you filming that?" Gu Cunxi leaned against the pillow, tilted his head, and asked in confusion. Cheng Sheng suppressed a laugh: "Go see if your brain is injured."
“…”
Cheng Sheng laughed and said, "You woke up and asked to find her like a child. How old are you, Mr. Gu?"
"Thirty..." Gu Cunxi said halfway, didn't want to answer, waved his hand, Cheng Sheng persisted and said for her: "Thirty-four"
Gu Cunxi glared at her and said unhappily, "What's wrong with being thirty-four? It has nothing to do with age. It's just that I feel anxious when I can't see her..."
"Well, just like a child who wakes up and can't find his mother, he will cry..." Cheng Sheng was peeling an apple, his hands were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, the apple skin was peeled off, and he was also thrown a pillow
Cheng Sheng dodged by leaning over, and spat out his tongue at her: "You can't hit me, are you anxious, Sister Cunxi? If you want to hit me, you have to get better soon!"
Gu Cunxi had no time to pay attention to Cheng Sheng. When she pulled the pillow just now, she used a little force on her abdomen, and the wound hurt a little. Cheng Sheng saw that she was silent and frowned. He immediately became nervous and sat down on the bed and asked, "Did you pull the wound?"
"Um…"
Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, Cheng Sheng immediately blamed himself: "Sister Cunxi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have teased you. Lie down first and let me take a look at the wound."
As soon as Xiao Peiyin entered the ward, she saw Gu Cunxi frowning with her eyes closed, and Cheng Sheng was lifting her clothes.
"Cheng Sheng, what are you doing?"
"Ah?" Cheng Sheng was startled and quickly retracted his hand. Xiao Peiyin walked over nervously. Gu Cunxi opened his eyes and hugged her: "You're back"
"Yeah! Are you anxious waiting?" Xiao Peiyin patted her, glanced at Cheng Sheng, and asked with his eyes: "What happened just now?"
Cheng Sheng looked like he had done something wrong, pointing at Gu Cunxi's stomach and said, "Just now, I..." Before he could finish, Gu Cunxi interrupted and said, "Xiao Peipei, I'm thirsty."
"Then lie down first, I'll get you some water."
Xiao Peiyin tested the water temperature before handing it over: "Drink slowly."
While feeding, she looked at Cheng Sheng, her eyes swept over the crooked pillow next to her, and asked curiously: "What are you doing with Cunxi's pillow?"
“…”
Cheng Sheng wanted to say that she didn't take it, but Gu Cunxi used it to beat her. After thinking about it, she didn't know how to say it. She hesitated for a long time and gave Gu Cunxi a look for help.
"I gave it to her. I wanted her to sleep for a while."
Gu Cunxi answered for her, and Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. She had to let Sister Pei Yin know that she was teasing Gu Cunxi at this time and causing her wound to hurt. She might be scolded...
At this moment, Jiang Rao's phone rang. Cheng Sheng was delighted and hurried away. When he left the ward and answered the phone, he heard Jiang Rao's magnetic voice: "Anything going on tonight?"
"It's okay," Cheng Sheng blurted out without thinking. The other party was silent for two seconds and then said, "Then...would you like to be my designated driver?"
Cheng Sheng was stunned for a moment and responded: "Who to pick up?"
"I"
After a short silence, Cheng Sheng nodded and hung up the phone. Jiang Rao sent an address and time, which Cheng Sheng wrote down in his memo and returned to the ward.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Gu Cunxi nestled in Xiao Peiyin's arms. Cheng Sheng turned around and wanted to leave, but then he remembered he hadn't taken his bag yet, so he stepped back. Xiao Peiyin handed him the bag and asked, "Are you going home?"
"Well, there are enough light bulbs in the room," Cheng Sheng chuckled.
Before leaving, she thought about picking up Jiang Rao in the evening. She didn't have a car, so she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Pei Yin, can you lend me your car?"
"no problem"
Xiao Peiyin stood up to get the car keys, but was pulled back. Gu Cunxi turned around and asked Cheng Sheng, "Do you want to pick someone up?"
"Hmm..." Cheng Sheng was afraid that Gu Cunxi would continue to ask, so he quickly changed the subject: "The weather forecast says it will rain tonight..."
"So, who are you going to pick up?" Gu Cunxi kept on asking, and he had a vague answer in his mind.
Seeing Cheng Sheng couldn't say anything for a long time, Gu Cunxi gave up and pointed to the sofa and said: "Xiao Peipei, the key is in the bag, open mine."
Cheng Sheng took the key and fled. Xiao Peiyin then asked, "Why did you open yours?"
"Did you forget what you promised me?" Gu Cunxi pretended to be angry and curled his lips. Xiao Peiyin suppressed a smile and pretended to be confused: "Huh? What did I promise you?"
“…”
She knew it well, and he was just trying to tease her. But when she saw that Gu Cunxi really ignored her, with his head tilted, leaning against the pillow without saying a word, Xiao Peiyin shook her head and chuckled, poking her: "Are you angry?"
Gu Cunxi turned his back and shook his head
"Because I promised you that no one else would sit in the passenger seat, that's why I'm going to lend your car to Cheng Sheng, right?"
After being exposed, Gu Cunxi felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking. There was no sound behind him. Gu Cunxi wanted to secretly see what she was doing. As soon as he turned his head, his lips were covered by a soft
Before she could react, Xiao Peiyin pulled away, pressed his lips against her cheek, kissed her ear, and whispered, "Childish!"
